AQUACEL AG+ Extra Dressing 5×5 cm Pack of 10 Sterile

AQUACEL Ag+ Extra by ConvaTec is an advanced sterile wound dressing featuring Hydrofiber technology, designed to help manage exuding wounds, including wounds requiring microbial biofilm management. The dressing combines absorbent fibers, ionic silver, and additional ingredients that help disrupt biofilms and limit their reformation, supporting the management of wounds at risk of microbial contamination as assessed by a healthcare professional.

When the dressing comes into contact with wound exudate, its fibers transform into a gel that helps absorb and retain fluid while maintaining a moist environment conducive to wound healing. This product comes in a 5 × 5 cm size, with a pack containing 10 sterile dressings, making it suitable for covering small wounds that fit these dimensions.
